Mindful Eating Meditation Retreats

In these contemplative weekend retreats, we will learn how to pay attention to what our body really needs and why. When we eat mindfully, we involve all the senses by engaging our body and our mind. We utilize color, texture, smell, taste, and sound to nurture our experience. Mindful eating can nudge us beyond what we’re craving so that we wake up to why we’re craving it.

To support cultivating our awareness, we quiet the mind and open the heart through yoga, sitting and walking meditation. Through these practices of deepening our inner awareness of the body and mind we can experience peace, wisdom and compassion, which is our true nature.
